I must say.
I watched the episode last night with T-MAc's Lincoln.
Oh my god.
I cannot believe they just screwed the door pods into the panels without even matching covering or anything.
Having now seen the show...I am appaled.
Having said that, I DO like how they go into great detail showing the installs (or at least moreso than other shows which tend to gloss over...now maybe I think for good reason...the audio work)
BOO

^^^straight up. i love that our industry is finally getting a big time showcase, but "the hammer" is not the guy i want to represent what the rest of us do. we sent him the links to our cardomain sites a couple of ours ago and we are getting no response whatsoever from them. this guy has got to know that his installer isn't that good. cause until we sent them pics he was replying. hee hee hee.

Nice.
I would raise a stink if someone did that sort of work on my POS truck.
If they did that to my quarter-million Hummer or Lambo or whatever the rappers and bballers are driving nowadays, I cant imagine what I would do.
I mean, Camby's ride IS a lead-sled lincoln, which I detest in and of itself, but the idiot basically RUINED the stock doorpanels, then dismantled the x-overs and threw away the casings, and didnt even have the bright idea to MATCH the ****.
Also, since that car has suicide doors, I believe that the 'pods' were on the foremost side of each door...which means when the rear doors are opened, the pods are in prime location for getting kicked, splashed and overall mashed.
What a hack job.
I have never built a setup nor have I installed one, but I know from my consumer experiences that the reason I pay so much for my installs is because the places to which I go do GOOD WORK.
Ridiculous.
At first I though Castro was out of line balling out his installers, but then I saw their handiwork...and felt sorry for the guy.
I have seen a few cars he did on Rides or something (they did a profile on his shop on the Funkmaster show) and he did a really cool 'superman' install on a Navigator, beautiful two-tone superman interior and install and everything. Too gawdy for me but really imaginative and nicely finished, I thought.
I guess once he got BUSY his work went down the tubes...

If you're a pro athlete or business person constantly on the road or out of the loop all you may have time for is a quick check on the shop or an opinion from someone else.
Camby may just tell all his friends that they did awesome work on his car and completely recommend them just because he may not know any better regarding installs. Then the friends take their cars there and the same thing repeats.

^ This is true. These high profile guys probably hardly even see their cars due to travel and work so the flashy first impression is what sticks, not that this part is kinda crooked or that part is loose. Their Hummer has 26" wheels and needs a system to match..
I missed last nite but saw last week where they had to put a tour bus back together where everything was falling apart. Carefully there was no mention of who did the original work that was getting re-done...

I am sorry I missed this thread
I am glad I am not the only one who thinks these guys are hacks (funny how we all came to use the same word 'hack').
I would NEVER allow those fools near a vehicle of mine. The price to performance is terrible. It is kind of embarasing
